Abstract/Introduction

This paper examines the phenomenon of contemporary black Republicanism. In recent years, several black conservatives, most notably U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, have achieved prominence in U.S. politics. Their views are often antithetical to those of most African-Americans, who have overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic party since the New Deal policies of the Roosevelt Administration and especially the modem Civil Rights Movement. Black Republicanism illustrates the increasing heterogeneity within the black community. The public discourse black Republicanism has generated could reshape the fortunes of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
